STOCKTON - A man suspected of murdering two people in October was arrested Wednesday in Stockton, authorities said.

The Stockton Police Department announced that U.S. marshals apprehended Ramiro Terrazas, an 18-year-old gang member, in the 4900 block of Kentfield Road, just south of March Lane. He was carrying a loaded semiautomatic handgun when he was arrested, police said.

Terrazas was wanted for murder after homicide detectives linked him to the Oct. 22 shooting deaths of Marcos Garcia, a 23-year-old gang member, and Terri McCoy, a 31-year-old parolee, at the Village East Apartments in the 2500 block of Marsh Street. Authorities arrested Terrazas two days after he was placed on the U.S. marshals' regional top 10 most-wanted list.

Police are still investigating the double homicide. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Stockton Police Department at (209) 937-8323 or Crime Stoppers at (209) 946-0600.
